I‘ve read 38 cover-to-cover. My total is 46 if you count the ones I DNFd, which I am. I‘ve attempted Crime and Punishment and The Hobbit at least 3 times each. I will never finish them. The tagged book is one of my favorites from the list, although I bet it hasn‘t aged well. Several of these I read BECAUSE of The Great American Read, like Bless Me, Ultima, and I bought copies of a few others that I haven‘t gotten to like the Sister Souljah . #tlt

dabbe That is so cool that you've read books because of this show! I have never read THE HUNG FOR RED OCTOBER (though I've seen the movie, which is never as good as the book, right?). Why do you think it hasn't aged well? Thanks for playing and sharing. ♥️📚💚 2w
DGRachel @dabbe Honestly, I haven‘t reread it, but it‘s a Cold War, US vs USSR novel, and well…Let‘s just say I no longer think of America as the “good guys”, so the flag waving patriotism falls flat. It is worth the read for the submarine chase alone, though. That was intense. (edited) 2w
dabbe @DGRachel It's been a LONG time since I've seen the movie, so I was wondering. Excellent points re: Us vs USSR and us as the so-called “good guys.“ #oytothatvey It's been on my TBR forever, so I'm thinking I should move it up on the list! 🤩 2w

New Patreon episode just dropped. We discuss many of the books pictured. And, it's audio so you can't see it but the cat stared at me the whole time we were recording.

(1989) The 4th volume in Clancy's series of thrillers featuring intelligence analyst Jack Ryan has Ryan responding to a covert military operation gone sour, targeting drug production in Colombia. I haven't been a fan of this series but it's growing on me: it's turning into a sort of technothrillers where the "techno" is US political machinery (plus enough peril to keep the ship moving). Flaws, yes, but interesting, and this is my favorite so far

(1987) Testosteroney, sometimes ridiculously so, and starry-eyed about royalty. But it promises thrills and then delivers them. If this is the kind of thing you like then you'll like it pretty well. On balance, I liked it better than expected.

(1984) I tried this once years ago and bounced off. I remember hearing Clancy's work described as "thrillers for people who find 'Jane's Fighting Ships' thrilling," and that matched my experience. But this time I pushed, let the jargon slide by, and ... It wasn't bad. There's a submarine duel near the end that was thrilling even for this guy who likes "Jane's" only for pretty pictures. Still not my thing but this time I get its appeal

Leftcoastzen Think it might have been the only novel originally published by Naval Institute Press . 2y
swynn I think it was the first but that there have been others. Stephen Coonts's "Flight of the Intruder" was another. Pretty impressive choices, even if only from a business standpoint. 2y
